| Oh—but you are right when I watched my dad whom I was extremely close to ware away from cancer and then die over 18 months...it was less during that time. So much for “in sickness and in health”. The time 20 years in a marriage your spouse is supposed to be there for you. But his married whore also had a father she hated so they would never understand intense grief. |
I can’t focus on the rest of the post because the first sentence is so distracting. What does “morose” have to do with the rest of it? |
I'm so tired of this old rhetoric. My ex was all the things you listed except probably a few extra red flags involving family trauma and I have a very high drive. He still cheated on me like it was his PT job. |
Same with mine. All the 69-ing, bjs, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, doggy, and a few 3-somes spattered throughout the marriage didn’t stop the cheating. |
+1. No sex in a marriage is a serious problem IMO, but it is not the problem typically driving infidelity. As a society, we have to stop blaming victims for their abuses of their perpetrators. The only person responsible for infidelity is the person who perpetrates it. |
No one is saying that the only reason men cheat is sexual deprivation, but some men and women who would be faithful cheat because of this. Sexual mismatch was one of the red flags here Also, if you are single, whatcha doing later? |
https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2020/07/dear-therapist-im-cheating-on-my-husband/614032/ It's also ok to acknowledge that many people cheat only because they are deprived. Like this person whom I am sure you see as a monster, but whose therapist recommend cheating to as everyone surely would |
